Café Riis Hólmavík - Restaurant - Pizzeria & Bar

Cafe Riis is one of the few restaurants you will find in Holmavik. This is a Icelandic restaurant, bar and pizzeria with a large indoor seating area. Opening hours are 12pm to 11pm daily. Service is friendly and environs comfortable and relaxing. Prices reasonable for what is served. We stopped by Cafe Riis for lunch while driving around the Westfjords recently. The salted cod and lamb fillet were very nicely prepared in the kitchen and beautifully served plates. Both tasted quite good and were worth reordering. Would have tried a dessert as well had we not felt full enough after lunch. Overall, Cafe Riis seems like a good choice for those looking for a good place to take a driving rest and enjoy lunch in Holmavik. We'd have no problem eating here again.

We had an amazing lunch at Café Riss, tried the seafood soup and pizza. The soup was perfectly seasoned and packed with lots of delicious and fresh seafood. The pizza was huge and so tasty, shared between 2 people. The owners are lovely people who gave us lots of recommendations for our trip and told us many interesting stories about Iceland. Can't recommend enough!!

Wanted ti have last min lunch break and found this on google. The food is really nice ! Waitress is friendly and recommended us their signature .. they have same type of meal as starter and also as main .. we order starter size so we can try more food .. wish we stayed longer so we can go back to the Resturant again for dinner ..

Super super good food and service, did not expect this fine food at such a remote location. We had smoked salmon, local grown lamb filet and fish soup, and also the pizza looked and smelled great.

Café Riis: A Culinary Gem Here's the English translation of your text, keeping the tone and details engaging: It is said that an exceptional meal can be a great reason to travel to a place, purely due to the quality of the food served. You'll find such a spot in Hólmavík, a fishing village located in northwest Iceland. Café Riis offers a menu mainly consisting of pizza and local fish dishes. It was actually my first time visiting a restaurant that featured cod cheeks on the menu. For those who haven't tried them before, cod cheeks are the most flavorful part of the cod and severely underrated. However, we skipped the fish because the lamb seemed even more intriguing. At Café Riis, the fillet is served with a centimeter thick layer of fat, scored and fried to create a crispy crackling on top. This fat also adds more flavor to the meat and definitely shouldn't be cut away. It tastes fantastic! Butter fried potatoes, baby carrots, and bell peppers played their parts as a delicious backdrop, giving the dish depth. A delicate béarnaise cream topped it all off. Simply delightful! My wife and I had just finished an active day in Ísafjörður, and after three hours on the road, we were quite tired and hungry when we arrived in Hólmavík. A warm thank you to both the waiters and chefs at Café Riis for giving our day a perfect ending.

The best food we had in Iceland, hands down! Perfectly flavored, great presentation, and absolutely outstanding service. Highly recommend stopping by and treating yourself to a great meal between sightseeing. We hope to be back soon!

This place is fantastic! We ended up eating here twice and we have no regrets! Pizza is fantastic- you can easily share a large one to save $$ probably between 2-3 people! The bacalla fish and seafood soup is absolutely fantastic! Fish is perfectly cooked with a delicious white wine sauce that was drinkable! the seafood soup was loaded with fish, shrimp and mussels in the shell! Served with bread and delicious butter. The starter soup was a very decent serving for a meal if you’re looking to save some$$ If we come back we would definitely stop here. As well the owners/hosts are lovely and welcoming.

This not the first time there and everything was exellent like always. .100% recomend to taste salted cod sooooo soooo tasty. Pizza is also very goood. Nice service and cozy climate of this place make me come back there every time im travelling .
